Arthur Miller was about to give up playwriting when he finally found major success in 1947 with “All My Sons.” The hard-hitting family saga ran for nearly a year on Broadway and has been revived many times since on stage and screen, taking its place alongside such other Miller masterworks as “Death of a Salesman” and “The Crucible.”

At CAT, George Bailey and Mark Henry direct an 11-member cast in this story of how a pursuit of wartime profits at the expense of social conscience rips apart two American families.

It’s a sobering tale drawn partly from Greek tragedy, partly from historical events, but one whose themes may never lose their relevance.
